Downtown—(June 7, 2018) The Vancouver Art Gallery opened Cabin Fever, their summer art exhibition on the second floor, celebrating the history and tradition of the cabin as both an architectural form and cultural construct in North America from frontier times to contemporary millennial interpretations.

Material Culture

The collection of works and imagery—divided into three sections Shelter, Utopia, and Porn—aims to deconstruct the outdoor getaway ideals of backcountry shelter echoing some of British Columbia's own beautiful landscapes.

Visitors can also gander at the many architectural models, drawings, plans, photographic prints, historical documents, literature, and videos including a display of Lars von Trier's horrifying film Antichrist shown on a small TV set in a cabin setting.
